BLOG BURST:
"I watched a show on changes that are going on in libraries all across Massachusetts. There are some fantastic, fascinating, and amazing transformations happening in the world of reading and books, part which is from “Amazon’s Kindle” to “Apple’s IPad”.

To me a spokes person who stood outside the Boston Public Library and read the carved marble words “Free To All” was most interesting. She went inside and said “Look around! You can see we have a great country, culture, music, art; what a great place to be, what a great place to come to.”

You know, as our world follows after information through the advances of technology, I hope we will not get blinded by being so absorbed with ourselves. I hope we will see what a great country we have and how we need to continually stand on our history and what we were founded on, and foster our culture, music, art, the positive adventurous spirit that has made us great and our thankfulness for the undeserved blessing of our Creator."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“A place for books, a place to gather and more
A world of information has opened new doors
Take a look, take a peak, enter in and see
Open up to the new world and what has come to be
Participate; add culture, music, art to your life today
You are sure to see things in a whole new way!”

“Go to your library! Stand with them as they help make changes that will only benefit you and others around you. Vote funding for them, now. And as always, have a great week!”

BLOG BURST:
" Shootings, kidnappings, murders, rapes, child molestations, unemployment, the homeless, the earthquake, death, perversion, divorce, cheating, strangulation, terrorism, bombing, starvation, floods, mudslides, fires, tornados, lost at sea, amber alert, heighten state of emergency, bribes, overweight, starvation, mentally challenged, Alzheimer’s, blood pressure, strokes, greed, emergency bomb squads, swat teams, bills, religious wars, stress, taxes, politicians, Republicans, Democrats, Sex Addictions, Power, Money, stabbings, pornography, and a whole lot more Blah, Blah, Blah!

One of the top producers for a major news television network said, “It’s all about how we can scare them today and beating the competition!”

Here’s a small suggestion; but first, remember this same breeding ground is in every workplace in America from the largest corporation to the teachers’ lunch room. It’s everywhere including any place that two or more people are gathered together and it’s all over the internet and in today’s music. “Make some choices to SHUT the TV News Off, or at least limit it; and along with this make other choices that will save your brain and make your life better.

Spend some time with your family, your friends, reading, playing, praying, or simply indulging in pondering the works and messages of a great positive painting."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“What’s all that I hear and what is being said?
Will it help my life or keep me from sleeping in my bed?
Is all that’s bombarding me useful to my life and health?
Or will it cause me harm and get my brain to melt
Let me take the high road to think and ponder each day.
I know life will be all the better if I choose that way!”

“You can do it! Yes, you can. Stay well and live life, find or spend time with a great painting, an exciting artist and live in the positive. Thank you!”

“Happy Valentines’ Day”!!"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“I awoke today and realized how many days had past.
How many Valentines Days together just didn’t last.
How many dozen roses, words, cards, gifts and alike,
How many parties with guests looking like such a fright.
But here it is that day once more with all that is ahead
For now I’ll just quiet down and sleep in this warm bed.”

“Hope you have a wonderful day. May all those whom you have touched, think on your kindness and acts of love and forgiveness, affectionately this entire week!”

Feb.7th “The Art of Relationships”

Size: 18" X 28" Giclee' on Canvas Hand Embellished by Artist; Certified & Limited From "The Girl At The Beach Collection". - Click HERE - Find the ENLARGED paintings with details, pricing, shipping and more as well as my comments on the paintings.

BLOG BURST:
"Paintings can be closely aligned with relationships. Prior to the advent of photography paintings were forms of record keeping. Paintings were often used to identify position, possessions and portraits. You would think that their importance would have fallen with this new ability to replicate likeness and exactness on a visual surface. Quite the contrary, paintings have moved in all kinds of directions, formats, styles, applications, categories and more.

The relationship principle is still the same. You can like it. You can hate it. You can be engaged it. You lose your taste for it. You can vow to love it as long as you live or you can throw it away because you’ve lost your feeling for it.

The truth is, possessing a great painting that engages you is very much like any good relationship. You’ve got to endeavor to work at it, spend time with it and nurture your love for it. If you do it will possess you, please you, bring you joy, refresh you and make your life better.

In any case, putting your efforts toward building, continuing and working at a relationship is far more positive, healthy and worth it than not. May you find a great painting or may a great painting find you!!"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Build that emotional bond that cannot be broken
Take the time to search and ask, seek out the emotion
Open your heart and mind to help each other’s needs
Spend time together ponder where the memories lead
Gaze at the beauty and the affect its had on your soul
Stay positive and let the beautiful story totally unfold.”

“I hope you have a great painting or acquire one and take the time to look at all your relationships. Remember to invest in them and be positive. Have a great week!”
